<DIV><BR></DIV>Dear Paula Petersen:<BR>
<P>***************************************************************** <BR>Decimal 
pricing will begin on August 28, 2000 on 13 symbols listed<BR>on the NYSE &amp; 
AMEX stock exchanges. <BR>
<P>Please run eSignal over the weekend of August 25 to update your<BR>software 
with the new decimal file and to insure your software<BR>is ready for decimal 
trading at market open on August 28. <BR>
<P>Please refer to Important Notes at the end of this email or our<BR>web site 
at <BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<A 
href="http://info.dbc.com/Key=4458.Dko.E.BEWVa2";>http://www.dbc.com/cc/Bulletins/</A><BR>for 
more information on using eSignal with decimals. <BR>
<P>***************************************************************** <BR>
<P>As most of you are aware, the SEC has been working to convert<BR>all stock 
and options trading data from fractions to decimals.<BR>The first step in this 
transformation takes effect on August 28,<BR>2000 when the New York Stock 
Exchange (NYSE) and American Stock<BR>Exchange (AMEX) begins transmitting data 
in decimal format on the<BR>following 13 companies (and their underlying 
options): <BR>
<P>NYSE issues (*including the underlying Options where applicable): 
<BR>Anadarko Petroleum Corp. (APC)* <BR>Forest City Enterprises Inc. Class A 
(FCE.A) <BR>Forest City Enterprises Inc. Class B (FCE.B) <BR>FedEx Corp. (FDX)* 
<BR>Gateway Inc. (GTW)* <BR>Hughes Supply Inc. (HUG) <BR>MSC.Software Corp. 
(MNS) &nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
<P>AMEX issues (*including the underlying Options here where applicable): 
&nbsp;<BR>Regal Beloit Corp. (RBC) <BR>ON2.com Inc. (ONT) &nbsp;<BR>Psychemedics 
Corp. (PMD) <BR>Meda General Inc. (MEG.A) <BR>EMagin Corp. (EMA) <BR>Global 
Light Telecommunications Inc. (GBT) <BR>
<P>Here's an example. Before the conversion to decimals the prices<BR>would be 
displayed in a fractional format, like 35 ¼ or 9 ½.<BR>Now the data will be 
displayed in decimal format, like 35.25 or<BR>9.50. The exchanges plan to 
convert an additional 50 to 100 symbols<BR>to decimals on September 25, 2000 and 
will have converted all listed<BR>symbols and their underlying options to 
decimals by December 4,<BR>2000. &nbsp;Nasdaq is scheduled to complete their 
conversion by Spring<BR>2001. &nbsp;All dates are subject to change and each 
phase is dependent<BR>on the success of the previous steps. For more information 
on<BR>decimalization, see the SEC decimal pricing plan 
at:<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<A

<P>&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>eSignal 4.1 and above are compatible with the new decimal 
format,<BR>however, we strongly suggest you upgrade to our new 
version,<BR>eSignal 5.3.<BR>
<P>It is very important that before upgrading to eSignal 5.3, 
&nbsp;you<BR>verify that your computer meets system requirements. If you 
are<BR>using Signal Online 4.1 or Stockedge Online 4.1, please follow<BR>the 
instructions at the following link to preserve your existing<BR>personal layouts 
<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<A 
href="http://info.dbc.com/Key=4458.Dko.C.DreSCv";>http://www.esignal.com/download/special_41.asp</A><BR>
<P>If you are unsure of what version of software you are currently<BR>using, 
simply go into eSignal, choose the Help menu, then choose<BR>About. &nbsp;Your 
current version will then be displayed. To download<BR>eSignal 5.3, go to

<P>IMPORTANT NOTES ON DECIMALS: &nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>
<P>* If one of the 13 stocks recently converted to decimals is a<BR>Market 
Leader (top 10 active, % gainers etc.), we will round the<BR>last price to the 
nearest fraction. &nbsp;We are unable to re-write<BR>the existing Leaders record 
to display equities trading in decimals.<BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;<BR>* If an underlying 
option of one of the 13 issues recently<BR>converted to decimals is a Market 
Leader (top 10 active, % gainers<BR>etc.), the option will not be displayed. 
&nbsp;We are unable to re-write<BR>the existing Leaders record to handle options 
trading in<BR>decimals.<BR>
<P>* We strongly advise that you run eSignal over the weekend of<BR>August 25 to 
update your software with the new decimal file and<BR>to insure your software is 
ready for decimals on August 28. By<BR>doing so, you will help us stagger the 
uploading of the new decimal<BR>file and avoid a spike in downloads the morning 
of August 28. Simply <BR>start eSignal, confirm that data is being received and 
then exit.<BR>You'll be ready to go! <BR>
<P>*Additional testing of the effects of decimalization may cause us<BR>to make 
further changes to our internal feed or software applications.<BR>Please check 
our web site at <BR>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<A 
href="http://info.dbc.com/Key=4458.Dko.E.BEWVa2";>http://www.dbc.com/cc/Bulletins/</A><BR>for 
regular updates and watch for future e-mails, news stories<BR>and mailings on 
this subject. <BR>
<P>Please send any questions regarding decimals to us via email at<BR><A
